A corner three-bedroom, two-bath home with southern and eastern exposures and a private balcony with two entrances, Residence 7F in L'Ecole is filled with light throughout the day.
An expansive living area is flanked by the balcony, with ample room for seating as well as a garden, and the open kitchen. Stainless steel appliances, including a microwave, a gas range, a side-by-side refrigerator with ice maker and a Bosch dishwasher, contemporary cabinetry with frosted glass and mahogany-toned wood and white quartz countertops make the kitchen both polished and practical. The double-width breakfast bar allows the home chef abundant space to prepare gourmet creations while guests are seated there.
